Chapter 135: The Old Man Who Sells Umbrellas...

"Elaborate."

Xu Boqing raised his eyebrows, but he really didn't expect that the two brothers who were street performers were actually from other countries.

"Yes..."

Jiang Jin pondered for a while and said, "The identities of the two brothers are a little unusual...

More than 200 years ago, there was a martial arts strongman known as the 'sword idiot' in the Great Song Dynasty Wulin, this person's name was Duan Hongyuan, and he was also the ancestor of Duan Yuanze and Duan Yuansi.

It is rumored that the 'sword idiot' Duan Hongyuan was obsessed with swordsmanship, and in order to sharpen his swordsmanship, he once challenged the various famous factions of the Great Song Dynasty with one person and one sword when he was young, and rarely failed.

The battle of fame was besieged by seven masters of the innate realm in the Great Song Dynasty, not only did he not fall behind, but he also killed four people one after another, if the remaining three escaped, I am afraid that it would have to be folded in his hands...

After the news came out, everyone in the Great Song Dynasty was shocked, and everyone at the time was rumoring that he had penetrated the realm above the innate level.

Later, although Duan Hongyuan retired to the rivers and lakes and disappeared, it has always been rumored in the rivers and lakes of the Great Song Dynasty that he has the supreme martial arts skills above the innate level...

In the following decades, Duan Hongyuan seemed to have evaporated from the world, showing his head from the future rivers and lakes, and this rumor did not make any waves at that time...

Almost more than ten years ago, another martial artist named Duan Yongan of the Great Song Dynasty entered the rivers and lakes, and he still challenged the various sects of the Great Song Dynasty with one person and one sword.

Later, the people in the rivers and lakes learned that this Yong'an was after Duan Hongyuan, the 'sword idiot' who retired from the rivers and lakes that year.

This Yong'an is also like his ancestors back then, not only is he extremely talented, but his swordsmanship is also sharp and difficult to match.

It can be said that during that time, he was overwhelmed by the Great Song Jianghu alone...

The major factions on the rivers and lakes of the Great Song Dynasty hated the Duan family very much.

It's like a scar that has been healed for many years is suddenly torn open again, and it's still a family, and it's hard not to hate.

Ultimately...

Duan Yongan was poisoned by the woman he loved and died under the encirclement and suppression of several congenital masters...

And with his death, the Duan family was also exposed under the noses of others...

The Duan family suddenly lost Duan Yongan, and it was in a state of distraction, and the matter of 'peeking through the supreme martial arts above the innate level' was also mentioned again by someone with a heart...

The Duan family has no pillars to support, just like a child holding gold through the market, and instantly became the object of coveted by people in the rivers and lakes.

Although the descendants of the Duan family have been hiding for many years, they have also led to countless disputes...

According to the investigation of the lowly office, Duan Yuanze and Duan Yuansi were the only two descendants of the Duan family who fled all the way from the Great Song Dynasty, but they somehow came to our capital. ”

"Great Song... Duan Family... It's kind of interesting..."

Xu Boqing bowed slightly, and then seemed to think of something, and said casually: "The two brothers killed the patrol officer on the street in the capital a few days ago, and were they arrested?" ”

"No, but it's coming soon..."

Jiang Jin shook his head, and then explained: "Some time ago, there were a lot of Xuanqi eucalyptus pieces that could not be detected in the capital, not only the people below were embarrassed, but also the faces of the Jinyi Guards and the Criminal Department were also gloomy...

Therefore, many good people were recruited from all over the country to assist in the operation.

And the two brothers Duan Yuanze and Duan Yuansi committed murder on the street, and they killed the people of the official family, which was no different from beating the face of the official family.

The martial arts of the two brothers are not bad, and it would be fine if they were usual, but at this time, both the Jinyi Guard and the Criminal Department urgently need to show the majesty of the official family.

There is a lack of a typical...

Therefore, the Song commander of Jinyiwei personally led people to hunt down, and it was inevitable that the two brothers would be executed.

According to the news that came back today, these two people have been surrounded in the Baili Ridge area today, and all the ways to survive have been blocked. ”

"Hmmm......"

Xu Boqing bowed slightly.

He didn't have a bad sense of the two brothers of that family, and the reward he threw was just to do a good deed, and he never thought that he would be involved in such a cause and effect because of those silver coins...

And he happened to confirm his guess at that time, so he didn't deal with it.

Come on now.

The situation in which the two brothers have fallen to today seems to have something to do with themselves...

Xu Boqing waved his hand and motioned for Jiang Jin to retreat.

After thinking about it, he first went back to Cining Palace, reported to the Queen Mother, and then left the palace.

The 100-mile ridge is located in the southwest outside the city of Kyoto, and it is said that it is a hundred miles, but in fact it is just a few small hills...

He wanted to go directly to Baili Ridge and fish out the two brothers of the Duan family, but it was a cause and effect...

But not long after leaving the palace, I felt that there were raindrops falling.

When I looked up, I saw that the already gloomy sky had been covered by large dark clouds, and a light rain began to fall.

The rain came in a hurry, and the pedestrians on the street were running home with their heads in their hands, and he was not going back to the palace, nor was he going to continue walking.

Seeing that there was a shop selling oil-paper umbrellas on the corner of the street not far away, he rushed over directly with a light in his eyes.

The shop is a little dim...

An old man with a wrinkled face sits on a bench by the door frame, holding a strip and string in his hand to make the skeleton of an oil-paper umbrella.

On the container behind him is a well-made oil-paper umbrella, and there are some good umbrella styles hanging on the wall for customers to choose from.

But the strange thing is that the fan surface of other people's oil-paper umbrellas is all solid color or painted with ornamental vegetation such as plum orchid bamboo chrysanthemum;

But the umbrella hanging on his wall is not a hideous ghost with a green face and fangs, or a fierce beast that chooses people to devour.

The painting skills are really good, whether it is a ghost or a fierce beast, it is painted vividly, vividly...

But it is precisely because these hideous and terrifying ghosts and beasts are so vivid, coupled with the dim shop, coupled with the old man in the shop, that the audience can't help but feel a strange sense of horror.

Xu Boqing was also slightly stunned after entering the store, and finally understood why some people on the street outside would rather be drenched in the rain than come here to buy umbrellas.

After all, the blue-faced fanged evil ghost beast umbrella face is still too advanced for the aesthetics of the time...

When he saw the old man making umbrella bones, his eyes were fixed again, but he found that the old man in front of him gave him a feeling similar to the rosacea old man he met in Siqingfang before!

This old man is a cultivator!?

The old man who made the umbrella bone seemed to have noticed that someone had entered the store, raised his head, stared at Xu Boqing with dizzy eyes, and asked, "Little brother came to me to buy an umbrella?" ”

"Huh?"

Xu Boqing was surprised, looked around, and asked rhetorically, pretending to be dazed: "Uncle, aren't you a shop that sells umbrellas?" Am I in the wrong place? ”

“……”

The old man was also slightly stunned, then reacted, and said with a smile: "The store sells umbrellas, but I haven't sold a single one in the past few months." ”

"That's because they don't have vision..."

Xu Boqing looked at the many umbrellas on the wall, glanced at the shelves, and was shocked when he saw a long-handled umbrella about a man high leaning on the corner of the wall.

At first glance, the umbrella looks very old and unremarkable.

But under the gaze of the eyes of the Heavenly Eye, the treasure light on the umbrella lingers, but the umbrella seems to hide countless fierce demons and evil ghosts, and when you look deeply, you only feel that you can hear the roar and wail of the fierce demons and evil ghosts in your ears...

"They don't have vision?"

The old man muttered with a strange expression, and then asked with a smile: "So, little brother, do you have vision?" ”

"yes, I've never had a bad eye..."

Xu Boqing was speechless, then pointed to the fan on the wall and said, "Look at how well these umbrellas are painted, it's like you've really seen them." ”

“……”

The old man's hand braiding the umbrella bone paused slightly.

"I also have some research on the way of Danqing, but I can't draw such a demeanor to myself."

Xu Boqing pretended to sigh, and then seemed to think of something, and said, "Uncle, which Danqing master painted this fan?" ”

“……”

The old man who braided the umbrella bones was a little distracted, thinking that he was thinking too much, so he said with a smile: "They were all drawn by the old man when he was bored, but they should not be called by everyone." ”

He paused, and then smiled: "This umbrella is made by himself, and it is not valuable, no one wants it when it is piled up there, if the little brother likes it, take one." ”

“……”
